Alexander Family YMCA

Teen programs at the Alexander Family YMCA include (1) Y Achievers and (2) Leaders Club. (1) Leaders Club is a nation-wide, year-long leadership-development program for middle and high school teens. The community-service based program helps teens discover their full potential as leaders. This program provides teens with extensive leadership training and volunteer opportunities that support YMCA programs and services to the community. Our goal is to challenge teens to serve the community, and to help them grow in who they are and lead those around them. Leaders Club includes weekly meetings, service and social events, as well as trips throughout the year including rallies, service work weekends, optional spring break trips and Blue Ridge Leaders School. Please note: Positions for this project are limited to those who have registered with the Leaders Club program for the upcoming school year. Another volunteer opportunity within the Leaders Club program is volunteering as an advisor. In addition to teaching teens leadership through service, Leaders Clubs advisors: • introduce teens to all the work the Y does to strengthen community, and • inspire and prepare teens to become future Y leaders. (2) Lightner Y Achievers is a program that helps teens understand and learn who they are at critical times in their lives. The best part of the program? It's a safe haven, a blessing and at the end, teens feel good about who they and everything they can accomplish in life.
